I OWN A 2005 LINCOLN LS, AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THREE COILS AND PLUGS JUST RECENTLY, I HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING THAT SOME OF THESE CARS WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURERS DEFECT IF THEY WERE MANUFACTURED AT CERTAIN PLANTS. I CALLED A DEALER AND THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ONE OF THEM, YET I HAVE HAD THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT THEY DESCRIBED. MY QUESTION IS WHY WOULDN'T THEY ALL BE ALL BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL IF I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THREE ALREADY. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THESE CARS SHOULD ALL BE MANUFACTURED WITH SAME PARTS AND HAVE THE WARRANTY, HERE I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE THE COILS AND PLUGS IN MY CAR. THE DEALER DID SAY THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM.
